Talk:Sw Ananda Teertha
this paragraph.,..
"There were a number of "therapy groups" happening in those days. While they did resemble similarly-named processes in the "outside world", that resemblance was limited to the techniques used and the training group leaders had in their fields before they came to Osho. Their whole purpose was completely different: such processing as happened in them was not to restore a non-functioning member of society to "normal" functionality but to see into the masks of personality which conceal and obstruct the inner essence, and help them to fall away, not by force of will, but by that very seeing. In this way, a habit of looking within was given real assistance, making meditation a much easier and more natural flowering."
should be dropped. the whole topic is far more complex than you describe it here and really deserves an entire research paper. --Rudra 01:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
I agree that this paragraph is inadequate to describe the complexity of therapy groups. This is why i have created redlinks here and elsewhere for groups in general and particular, to point to a need for articles dealing with them. But i think it is useful to have something here to start the movement in that direction, and until something substantial is created, it might as well stay.
Perhaps something should be added to the paragraph here to indicate its inadequacy? Maybe just a link to this discussion? -- doofus-9 16:15, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
